the same happens here... i used funplug 0.5 with 1.03 fw on chsnas without ANY trouble. then i updated o 1.04rc3 (now rc4) and resetted to defaults, as suggested by the maker(s) of the 1.04 firmware - but i can have EITHER spindown with fan runnin all the time (doesnt funplug work here?) OR fancontrol but NO spindown (with funplug 0.5)

oddly, after going back to fw 1.03 this behaviour did NOT change. but it used to work before. now i am stuck! any ideas?

I lost the spindown completely after upgrading to fw 1.04rc4 on my CH3SNAS. It does not matter if i use the fancontrol script or not.

edit: after removing the fanscript and restarting the nas, my spindown works again!

I also lost the spindown feature with the fancontrol script. It used to work fine with firmware 1.03.
The script must be accessing the harddrive, even while it is supposed to run from ramdrive (according to the fancontrol-script and logging has been disabled). I think something has changed in the firmware and the path to the ramdrive is not correct anymore. But i have not much linux knowledge. Maybe zeroday, who is associated with conceptronic can confirm this.
Can it be the same cause of the cleanboot script not working on the CH3SNAS?

any news on this? still suffering from the same problem described in this thread, also under fw 1.04rc5

using this script, its a nogo

#!/bin/sh
#
# This script was created at http://dns323.kood.org by FIB,
# it has been slightly modified by leper (with help from
# fonz). It sets the fanspeed of the device depending on
# the temperature, which is measured in Fahrenheit. If
# your box measures temperature in Celsius, you need to
# edit it to work.
# Additional changes by gartylad.

# Set the path to use RAM-disk instead of harddrive, to
# execute from. This is done so that the disks will go
# into sleep mode, while the script is running.

   # Kill the old fan controller.
   kill -9 `pidof fancontrol`
   echo "Fancontrol killed. Installing fan_ctrl.sh" >${FANLOGFILE}
   
    # With temps between T1 and T2, the script automatically
    # lowers/raises the fanspeed between RPM1 and RPM2. This
    # it does every update_interval seconds.

Solution to this/my spindown-problem was found here:

this means a small change via editing the fun_plug file did the trick. dont ask me why reverting to formware 1.03 and reinstall of the funplug didnt undo the problem. however, now you know how to fix it in 1.04rc5 and fun_plug 0.5

good blog btw, itsthe programmer of the firmware

knireis: what i did was

1. flash to 1.04rc5
2. install latest fun_plug 0.5
3. reboot
4. edit the file /mnt/HD_A2/fun_plug via telnet on the ch3snas - in order to avoid incompatibility with the xp-editor's return codes ('vi /mnt/HD_A2/fun_plug') like this:
     4.1 edit the line containing FFP_LOG= to 'FFP_LOG= /dev/null'
     4.2 after the line '# run commands'
           i manually add this line: 'cd /'

5. reboot.

thats it. works here. fonz knows about it and will hopefully include these chages in the next 0.5 funplug (which is still beta now)

hope this helps.

4.1. No. Actually I think that change should not be necessary. If all services started from fun_plug (i.e. start/*.sh) detach properly, the log file is closed when fun_plug ends. Also, the log file has helped with problems many times, already. It's not wise to turn it off in the default.

4.2. Yes, will add 'cd /'

I lost the spindown completely after firmware 1.04rc5. I have only ffp0.5 with telnet and twonky. It used to spindown with older firmware. Can it be the buildin upnp mediaserver? I have it disabled but still shows up on my mediaplayer.
